[PnP] Korchi preliminary (mapping)

[Burton Choinski]

I was planning to simply load in the image into Canvas and then make  
the linework overlays on top of that (names, roads, etc).

Roads through the mountains may wind a bit differently to follow the  
flatter passes.

I'm not sure if I'm going to add the hill scruff or not.  I have to  
see how it looks with my new instructions.
